Autumn4242 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Pre-Mods I was running Skyrim on Ultra settings, now it's down to medium. I'd rather not have to remove any Mods and my computer is near it's limit in terms of upgrade potential, what's the best mod(s) to get my frame rate back up?

Oubliette Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Sorry, you've got it backwards. More mods = decreased framerates. Adding mods will only reduce your framerate more, not increase it. Your only option is to identify the mods that are giving you the most drastic framerate drop - and deciding if you can live without out them.

Autumn4242 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I've seen performance improvement mods, I was just want to know which are best, are you saying none of them work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celegon Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) You might not like the answer, but in my experience : Reduced vanilla textures. Really does the job for laptops or middleware PC Edited December 5, 2012 by Celegon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyTifty Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It amuses me. You say you want better performance, since you added mods that affected your framerate. You don't even post your specs, nevermind the mods you've got. Come on man. Think a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The first thing to do is tweak your Operating system for best operation - if the OS is slow - no matter what you do in the game it will still be slow. Get rid of any unneeded background processes and windows services. They steal cpu time and slow things down - that includes VOIP Skype & IM services especially. Next is to tweak your video card - the video card people make this easy - I know Nvidia has a set of canned settings for many games - including Skyrim. Start with that & make custom adjustments for your own system. Then tweak the game settings for the game. Things like the ini settings. All of this is covered in detail at Tweak Guides.com http://www.tweakguides.com/ Then, you will have a base to compare any mods that claim to 'fix' fps - most actually do things like reduce visual eye candy to improve fps (if the fps is bad enough , it will be worth it) As for fps, it's very overrated - Xbox caps it at 30 and they run smooth. The biggest thing is to smooth it so there are no big jumps. A jump either up or down causes a small hesitation as the GPU adjusts to the new value. An fps capper can help with that.

Celegon Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 And if you're using an ENB, the utmost FPS gain would be disabling DOF and/or ambiant occlusion. I always do this for the former - as I don't like it for anything else but screenshoots - and keep the later. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
